Key Takeaways

  • Overview: Since 2004, Avalara has focused on sales tax compliance and automation, starting with a connector for Great Plains. It now serves 41,000 customers globally with a comprehensive compliance suite, supporting various Microsoft connectors and key partner integrations. Avalara operates in 75 different countries and has about 1,900 Microsoft customers utilizing its connectors for various solutions like Finance, Business Central, NAV, SL, Field Service, project operations, sales, and commerce.
  • Automating use tax: Avalara is focused on simplifying use tax compliance within the Accounts Payable space, which is typically a manual process, by integrating with Dynamics GP, BC, and F&O. An example of use tax is when a pro shop uses golf balls internally for a driving range, requiring tax payment even though they aren’t sold; Avalara automates this process to cover the entire procure-to-pay environment.
  • Avalara at Summit NA: At the Community Summit 2024, Avalara has a 10-minute session on the Legends Stage on Tuesday, October 15, and a longer session covering the entire procure-to-pay process and showcasing new products, including a demo for accounts payable. Melissa invites listeners to join them and learn about the latest developments from Avalara. You can also find them at Booth #833.
  • Experiences: On the Expo Floor, Avalara is sponsoring the Wellness Lounge at Booth #141 and the Texas Lounge at Booth #101, featuring karaoke, photos, and drinks. Add these to your Summit NA Show Planner today!
